ORKNEY

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FOR SALE

with planning permission for dwelling



The Strond is situated in St Mary’s village by the sea 6 miles from Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney.

This historic war-time cinema was completely refurbished about eight years ago to create
an art gallery and studio. It was run for the benefit of the Orkney community, with classes in
art, crafts, meditation, yoga and Tai Chi, and concerts and exhibitions by local artists,
and groups such as the Heritage Society and the Orkney quilting group.

On the ground floor, in addition to the gallery, there is a kitchen, bathroom, and a room which could be
used as a shop or an office. The large storage area at the back has full Council permission for
conversion to a dwelling, or a new dwelling could be put on the car park, subject to planning consent.

There is a half-mezzanine in the storage area, and another at the front of the building which has
been used as a small meeting place with pleasant views of the sea and the Local Nature Conservation Site.

Running the Strond has been treated as a hobby by the current owner, who has now retired. It could easily become
a paying business - a showroom or workshop, a craft shop, hairdresser's, cafe, ceramic studio, or framery.

The Strond is available from Christmas 2011 and is expected to attract offers over £90,000
